The Social Technologies Summit is the leading international conference
that brings together 500 opinion formers, futurologists, artists,
researchers and technologists to explore the latest upgrade affecting
today's digital culture. This is the place where the technology and
digital sectors connect with the creative vision of the international
digital arts community.
Pioneering ideas will be presented, which will transform the way you and
your organisation operate, innovate and interact. Combining keynotes,
critical debates, demonstrations and experiences with open space and
participatory sessions, it is an engaging, critical and essential event
